Planning a babymoon in St. Moritz

When the weather turns in St. Moritz
Ovaverva in St. Moritz Bad is the obvious fallback, a public indoor pool with a slide, a lap basin and a spa fed by the mineral springs the resort was founded on. The Mineralbad at Samedan, stacked vertically through a converted townhouse, makes the more interesting soak. Otherwise the answer is a train: the Rhaetian Railway's Bernina line to Alp Grum runs in any weather and the windows are the entire point.
What to eat in St. Moritz
Engadiner Nusstorte, a short pastry case packed with caramelised walnuts, is what travellers carry home, and Hanselmann on Via Maistra has been selling it since 1894. Capuns, spaetzle dough rolled inside chard leaves and simmered in milk, deserves ordering in a mountain hut rather than a hotel dining room. Buendnerfleisch is air-dried beef sliced nearly transparent. Roeteli, a cherry liqueur, gets poured once the plates are cleared.
What first-timers get wrong in St. Moritz
St. Moritz is two settlements. Dorf sits up on the terrace with the shops, Bad lies down by the lake with the spa, and the climb between them is steeper than any map implies. Book the Bernina Express and you pay a premium for the same track ordinary Rhaetian regional trains use hourly for less. Hotel guests receive an Engadin card covering local buses, and in summer it usually includes the mountain railways.
What's actually worth your time in St. Moritz
Winter puts the attraction on the lake itself: White Turf horse racing across the ice on February Sundays, snow polo in January, and a marked walking track over the frozen surface the rest of the season. The Olympia Bob Run, rebuilt from natural ice every year since 1904, sells guest descents down the track the Games used. In the village, the leaning tower is all that survives of a church pulled down in 1893.
St. Moritz's museums, and which one to pick
A domed stone rotunda above the village, the Segantini Museum exists to house one work: the Alpine Triptych of Life, Nature and Death that Giovanni Segantini was still painting on the Schafberg when he died in 1899. It opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes entirely between seasons, roughly April to June and again through October and November. Down the valley at Sils Maria, the Nietzsche-Haus preserves the room he rented seven summers running.

What makes a good babymoon destination?

When in the pregnancy is best to travel?
The second trimester (roughly weeks 14–27) is usually the most comfortable window. Always follow your doctor’s advice, and pick flexible, free-cancellation bookings in case plans change.
